Team announcement: Semi-Final v Roosters

Justin Olam and Reimis Smith have been named to rejoin the Melbourne Storm squad as the Club prepares to take on the Roosters in a Friday night Elimination Final at AAMI Park.

After Young Tonumaipea (head) and Xavier Coates (ankle) sustained injuries against the Broncos last week, the experienced centre and winger will make their return alongside an otherwise unchanged starting line-up.

Alec MacDonald, Tom Eisenhuth, Nelson Asofa-Solomona and Tariq Sims round out the interchange bench with Grant Anderson listed as 18th man.
